In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 328

I consider submitting evidence of Whitney mistreating her child but the fact of the matter is I don’t have any evidence. Not only that, the mark on the child is now gone. Thus, I can't accuse Whitney of child abuse.

Does it mean that I will have to accept that Earl is taken away by Whitney just like that? I can’t accept that. This feeling is like a chunk of flesh being cut from my body. I don’t know why I feel so sad but inside me, I really can’t bear to leave Earl.

“Frances.” I look at him in despair and hope that he can think of something.

He can only shake his head helplessly in return. “I’m sorry, Jane, I already tried my best.”

The court ruled that Frances must return the child to Whitney within three days. Now I only want to go home quickly to spend the precious time with Earl.

Frances is still talking to the lawyer as I leave to go home first. I am stopped by Whitney as I reach the entrance of the Courts. She looks at me and says sarcastically, “How? I said that I would get custody of the child and I will definitely get it. At most, I’ll just admit that the child isn’t Frances’. It isn’t a loss to me.” Whitney says complacently to me. Truthfully, I don’t understand why she tells me these.

After all, she says these were to spite Frances. But yet, all these words pierce straight to my heart. Outwardly I don’t want to admit to losing to her.

“Why do you tell me all these? I don’t care a bit.”

“Ah? You don’t care?” Whitney laughs and scoffs, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you are the one who wanted Frances to fight for the custody of the child. It appears that you really like this child! But how can I let you be with this child? Jane, let me tell you that I will inflict onto you all the pain that you had caused me!”
